In Grow a Garden, some of the most valuable pets aren’t the ones that give huge value boosts, but the ones that help you acquire more rare plants. The Snail is a perfect example of this. This Legendary pet, hatched from a Bug Egg, has a simple but incredibly useful ability that increases your chances of getting seeds back when you harvest.

I’ve found the Snail to be an essential companion for any player who is trying to build up their stock of rare or event-exclusive seeds. This guide will cover this slow but steady pet’s appearance, trait, and history.
🐌 Appearance
The Snail has a simple and charming design that I really like. It has a beige-colored body and eye stalks, with simple black eyes and a mouth. Its shell is a classic brown with a swirl pattern. It’s an adorable and straightforward design that looks great inching its way around the garden.
✨ The ‘Slow and Steady’ Trait
The Snail’s passive trait is all about getting more seeds. Its ability provides an additional 5.08% chance for a harvested plant to yield a seed. Here are a few key things I’ve learned about how it works:
- The trait can be stacked with other Snails. If you have multiple Snails active, the chance of getting a seed back increases.
- It does not work on event seeds, so you can’t use it to get more seeds from limited-time events.
- The chance of getting a seed back is lower for rarer plants, but the bonus is still incredibly helpful for building up your collection.
This ability is a great way to multiply your investment in expensive plants from the Seed Shop or other rare crops.
